Entering 2025, I have developed a few bold predictions revolving the UFC. These aren'y necessarily hot takes that people wil disagree with, nor are they plain and simple fight predictions, but they're a take on where I think the UFC will head, certain fighter careers, certain matchups etc.
There is one more scenario in Tony Ferguson's career, he fights again, wins the fight, fights again, wins again and gets a 6-fight winning streak which gives him the opportunity to fight for the title, he fights for the title and wins in the first round and after Dana White places the belt on him, he decides to retire as the best lightweight of all time.
My man’s overdosed on fentanyl
And then he goes up to heavyweight and beats jones
And then he makes khabib go out of retirement and beats him and becomes the greatest lightweight ever
And then he fights Mario Bautista and smashes his face into the canvas with elbows and ankle picks
And then he resurrects Kimbo Slice just to roundhouse him back to Heaven
I don't see Topuria taking an L in 2025. But let's see who's right
The english really say bold predictions instead of hot takes
I mean the former sounds much classier and better in general
@bigmo8588 I agree mate 😂🍻🏴
Elite comment.
Hot takes are somewhat unpopular opinions. Bold predictions are just a hunch about future possibilities. Not the same thing is it
I think you mean normal/formal English vs slang
1. Tony Ferguson knocks out Makhachev, Belal, Du Plessis, and Pereira to become the first quadruple champ ever, then khabib comes out of retirement and Tony knocks him out too
2. After Tony beats Khabib he retires, and Dustin Poirier becomes the lightweight, welterweight, middleweight, and light heavyweight champions, then retires
3. Jon jones is the pound for pound greatest fighter ever
4. Tony Ferguson comes back out of retirement and knocks out McNuggets
5. Dustin Poirier comes out of retirement and knocks out illy toptoro
6. Max holloway gets his revenge and knocks out toptoro after pointing to the ground and knocking him out cold
7. Chael p Sonnen comes back for one more fight and solidifies himself as the undisputed undefeated greatest fighter of all time by getting all of the belts
8. Volkanovski gets revenge and knocks out toptoro
9. Belal gets cut from the ufc because nobody can remember the name
10. Aspinall, Pereira, Ngannou, and Jones all gang up on Mario Bautista and take turns knocking him out cold
You say that like Chael isn't already an eight division champ
@ he is but he’s going to get them all again and then the women’s belts
@eIcucuy I mean if he's feeling bored he may as well
I'm down.
The only thing I would hope changes is that when khabib comes out of retirement to take out Tony, the fight gets scheduled and cancelled 3 times before khabib gets too fat during the fourth attempt to make it even as a catchweight or open weight. Like, the commission allows him to weigh _any_ amount but the UFC can't design an octagon that is capable of supporting his weight
@ can’t design a big enough octagon so the fight happens in the desert, then Tony ankle picks khabib who falls down a sand dune and gets eaten by lions, then tony wins the belt
3:16 andeefybeatsumanomagedov
😂😂
guys i think he's going to mention aspinall i really do
listen dude 🗣🗣
Listen man I think he’s on some serious stimulants I really do.
Because he’s relevant. Don’t want a ufc video and expect not to hear about ufc fighter. DUUUUH
Dustin Poirer has said he wants to retire in Louisiana, and it sounds like Dana's gonna make it happen, but late 2025. He said he might fight early 2025 to stay active until his retirement fight.
I can see the UFC going to the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans.
I don't think anyone loves champions moving up a weight class more than this guy.
I think we may see Justin Gaethje retire
Yep he already stated if he gets KOd again he's done
Agree
Honestly I could see a Dustin v Justin war that ends with both retiring
@@IoanCenturion that would be sick and super climactic for both of them
@@IoanCenturion Possibly and I want them both to retire this year but I actually don’t want them to fight each other again. I’m a huge fan of both and I’d be way more hyped if they both added new names to their resumes.
Anthony Smith should not be allowed in the Octagon again. That Reyes fight was beyond disturbing. He needs to get some help
Topuria's BJJ and wrestling are top notch, people see him striking and think that boxing is his background but is not. You can watch his first professional fights and you would see how good he is on the ground.
still not good enough spanish boy,he got controlled and take down by mitchell on the ground
Yeah, ppl who saying he has no ground game and etc, might never seen him fighting and no idea of him having wrestling background
@ lol you must be kidding, the same Mitchell that got submitted on round 2? 😂
@@kenkashikovacslike your boy did by Volk, who my boy took out in less than 2 rounds, not 7. Ilia is the next step in fighter evolution and better than Islam everywhere except fence wrestling and the sauna.
But he ain't stupid enough to get into either of those with a Dagestani...
Ilia has some of the best octagon control in the UFC. If he doesn't miraculously lose it, it's gonna be a lot of Islam looking at the clock scared once again
Heavy handed boxer with grappling is a nightmare matchup for Charles I think topuria sleeps him tbh and that’s nou mention how good topuria is hunting down a hurt fighter
I think they are both very hard matchups for each other. I think Charles is the exact type of striker to trouble Ilia. Power, knees, Leg kicks, high guard. Can kick at him and pick at him with those tools or hurt him if he overextends. He has the bjj to Submit anyone or at least keep the back for the rest of The Round. I think if Ilia drops him, he won't go in Charles' guard. I think Charles is bigger and has been improving his Wrestling and may take him down like he did Chandler. It's very winnable for Charles imo
Comparing Ilia to Chandler is crazy , also Charles gets dropped every fight , the reason why he doesn't lose much is because a lot of those opponents are strikers only and they are scared to go after a knock down, Ilia would not be @@sethsolopow3226
jon is like one of the only fighters that will post paragraphs on twitter to convince people he should fight someone he shouldnt
I think whenever Tony is done in the UFC, he's either BKFC or GFL bound. It's only gonna get worse I think.
My hot take, “mah-hah-chev”. My bold prediction? Sonnen’s return.
You think Chael Sonnen will return?
Sonnen vs Ariel 2
Unfinished business
It never fails to impress me that chimaev fought John Ohilips, the Rhys McKee within 10 days of each other. I hope he can stay healthy so we can see his true potential. I don’t want him to be another zabit situation.
16:54 dagestani and chechnya is two diffrent regions but why not georgians? we have 2 champs and 2 ranked guys already is it not logical to bring more georgians to ufc??? specially we are all from same region and it is way easier to bring georgians in ufc because we have independence country and there is no problem with passport unlike russian passports
Ive been calling for Wonderboy to retire for awhile just bc I dont wanna see him keep taking damage, but I could be on board to see him thoroughly outclass Bryan Battle and then hang it up
very very good video Bro😭🔥
i have a feeling that conor vs the legal system will be a rivalry that we see more than 4 fights between the two
Makhachev has ZERO reason to fight Topuria - He wins, all the butt hurt haters will complain he beat feather weight. He loses, the same haters will say see he was never good.
How the F will your isbum win tho that's the nonsense u need to EXPLAIN smh🤡
@@LegendJoe3063he’s better than him everywhere in every way except maybe pure boxing? Wrestling- Islam, grappling- Islam, striking - Islam, strength - Islam, stamina- Islam, size- Islam? Apart from pure boxing which Islam with his size won’t allow, where does topturo win?
@@LegendJoe3063just shut it casual...
@@LegendJoe3063hes better than toupuria everywhere despite pure boxing,and this is mma not boxing kid😂
@@LegendJoe3063Islam is better in every form of MMA outside of boxing.
bro underestimating ilia
They said volk will beat him. They said max will beat him.
Jones Aspinall wont happen until this time next year
why i think itll happen during IFW? more likely abu dhabi card but definitely not in december
@HP-xh1oy Thats too quick of a turnaround for Jones
@@DecentPlutonium what leads u to think itd be longer now that hes healthy?
The glaze on olivera is insane
Grow up
@@JordanWallace-nb4id
You mean Mankachev
Spot on with islam vs ilia
Agree with everything except chinaev becoming champion, I think Dricus beats him
If illia fights charles he will crack his jaw through those 40 plus fights i see all that damage adding up with one clean hook from matador
If Tony wins he will never retire. It will be 2084 and he will be a Cyborg still fighting
Bold of you to say there were no champ vs champ fights in 2024 when we had Pantoja vs Asakura
Bold prediction: Conor McNugget still doesn't fight Michael Chandler in 2025
I love your vids
Ilia definitely won't take an L yet, he is the next step in fighter evolution and better than Islam everywhere except fence wrestling and the sauna.
But he ain't stupid enough to get into either of those with a Dagestani...
Ilia has some of the best octagon control in the UFC. If he doesn't miraculously lose it, it's gonna be a night fullof Islam looking at the clock once again 😂
the amount of mackhachev glaze is crazy
Kinda surprised Gaethje wasn’t mentioned in the retirement section. I feel like he’s 1-2 fights away from retiring, he even said after getting KO’d by max that if he gets KO’d again he’s retiring
I love that Weili vs Shevchenko idea both great grapplers and strikers with Valentina probably having the edge in the striking great fight!
My hot take: Joaquin Buckley will be the champion by the end of 2025
Mark my words - Leon Edwards will get his title back..
This channel would be goated if he had a different accent
How can you be so sure topuria stands no chance against Makhachev, who was taken to the 4th round by Poirier? Same with Charles, who is extremely hittable going up against potentially one of the best knockout artists we’ve ever seen?
I’m new to UFC still, if Islam were to move up to WW maybe even MW , i know they train with Usman Nurmagomedov. would UFC possibly offer him a contract? or is there like a proper procedure when it comes to signing talent from other MMA brands?
Pantoja is fighting figgy next. If he wins that, then he’ll challenge the 135 champ
Islam makhachev vs shafkat if he béats belal i love belal but i also like islam be soon as doublé champ for his leagsy espasicly for his leagasy why he give chance to ilia
Least bold predictions ever
As someone who actually watches wmma suarez beats weili
I can’t believe people are now expecting to see Jones vs Aspinall. I think no way will Jones ever fight him.
Jones vs Aspinall will probably only be scheduled for 2026 then Jones retires before the fight actually happens.
No way we get 3 champ vs champ fights. I would be surprised if we get even one. Topuria vs Islam at the end of the year I don't see, a lot would have to happen for that to set up. Pantoja vs Merab is most likely but I'm not sure. If Aspinall beats Jones he will fight Gane next.
El Cucuy title run starts now
Hear me out, Tony Ferguson vs Dustin Poirier for their last match before retirement
Im looking forward to seeing weili fight again soo plus she's adorable
Sweden is a tough country to get a visa out of. Rough.
My two most interesting fighters of 2025
Men's:Illa Topuria
My Bold predictions each class
Biggest Men's MMA Prediction:Conor McGregor and Jon Jones won't fight in the UFC in 2025.Conor relationship with UFC sours even more and Jones wont get enough money to fight
Biggest Women's MMA Prediction:All three women belt holders will lose their belt but Valentina or Zhang will move up a weight class
Men's125:Alexandre Pantoja will vacate which is more likely.If he fights 2 times at Flyweight next year I feel an upset will happen.You have to have some concern about Alexandre Pantoja's age.He's going be 35 next year
Women's 125:Manion Firiot will upset Valentina Shevcehnko.Also keep an eye on Natalia Silva and Macey Barber.I wouldn't be surprised if Alexa Grasso lose her next fight or not fight in 2025.She recently broke her leg.
Men's 135:Both Merab and Sean O'Malley will lose their next fight.Umar isn't afraid of Merab wrestling and he knows he got the striking tool to sap Merab's biggest weapon(stamina).
Women's 135:Julianna and Raquel will begin to fade away in Women's Bantamweight title contention picture. Kayla Harrison and Macey Chiasson will continue to rise.I'm a little curious about Amanda Nunes but imo I feel she won't come back.
145:Max Holloway retire from fighting Featherweight full time and move up Lightweight.I feel Topuria will move up.
155:Justin Gaethje will retire alongside with Dustin Poirier they will go a Justin vs Dustin 3 in Louisiana at Smoothie King Arena(New Orleans).Charles Olivera gets knocked out.
170:I'm actually think Belal has a decent chance of losing his belt due to age. Then again I think style wise his wrestling offense should be better than Shavkat and JDM.
185:Dricus Du Plessis will keep the belt and defeats Sean Strickland and Khazmat Chimaev.Israel Adesanya and Robert Whittaker downfall will continue.
205:Alex Periera will lose his belt I like the guy but his grappling hasn't been truly tested.
265:Tom Aspinal become undisputed Heavyweight belt holder
I swear down its not the first time i've seen this, Pantoja and Moreno have only fought twice, and he keeps on putting 3 ticks next to his name
They have fought 3 times, first was on TUF and twice in UFC
Alexandre Pantoja and Brandon Moreno fought 3 times once on TUF.
Pantoja doesn’t need to move up and I don’t think he wants to
I thought Usman would retire after the rematch to Leon. If he lost I figured he’d say it’s over. Everyone knows about his knees. Dudes had a legendary career, why tarnish it even more. Then he fought khamzat on weeks notice. Kamaru is an animal and a legend and as sad as it would be to see him go, I think it’s time. But who knows, bros about to drop to 155 and beat Islam or some crazy 😂😂
Islam vs shafkat or jdm if belal lose it please give him à chance
11:34 now that is absolute facts and my favorite prediction let’s gooooo can’t wait for this one
hating on ilia?
@ absolutely. He’s underhated
He’s never gonna lose double champ status incoming
@@diegoramos1964 if u think he’s beating Islam I have bad news for u
Make fergerson vs Jim miller
First time I had to slow a video down
Im gonna be back in 2026 to laugh at your stupid face about topuria prediction
day 1 of asking hopero to make a video about UFC Fight Night: Moraes vs. Sandhagen - the most historically significant fight night ever - topuria and DDP debuted, aspinall's second ever UFC fight, buckley got that famous knockout, sandhagen's first main event, etc.
And you forgot Amanda Nunez is coming back to fight julianna pena for the bantamweight belt
My hot takes from this video: Manon beats Valentina & Ilia can beat Islam, not saying it’s guaranteed. He went to war with a washed Dustin + Volk gave him lots of trouble in the first fight. I wouldn’t fully write him off Ilia hits harder than everyone in 55
Dustin was kinda locked in idk about washed
Islam after beating arman tsarukyan wait shafkat vs belal if belal lost islam he is next
Shamil Gaziev Knocks out Gane on short notice and accidentally kills Jon Jones with a jab and becomes champ
I can't see Usman beating Buckley if they fight (I prefer that match up on my video prediction) but tbh I can't see Usman fighting in 2025, that's my Bold prediction
Usman may as well be retired
Usman will be champ again
@@MMAfan-i6ccsss He's so inactive
@@HandseyCarlson I don’t think he’ll win a fight again
He needs to fight before I get involved.
Topuria will surprice you, he will win against anyone
he doesn’t win against aspinall
@@eIcucuy lol you know what i mean
Gets starched by Islam but beats everyone else
@ciaverifiedbadge4355that would be by far Islams toughest fight in the ufc
@@mitchsmix269not even close
Weili V Valentina. Make it happen
If sean somehow win against DDP ... he would be ducking Khamzat by whatever means.
conor has been hinting at fighting in 2025 for a while now. i think hes gonna make it happen
True. And I think he'll even be hinting at fighting in 2025 until 2028
I still wish Volk never took that fight.
Brother you need to watch more Tatiana Suarez.
Pantoja will never move up
11:34
Volkan Holloway
Distant brother of Volkan Oezdemir
😂
I will come back to this vid when Topuria knocks out Oliveira
😂
Jones vs pereira has no chance of happening this year
you still underestime topuria
GSP is the GOAT, anyone who disagrees is a casual.
My faviroutes were GSP and Khabib Nurmagomedov
it’s jon jones, if u think not ur just a bones hater (which is understandable). but there is no denying it
@@cartercapennah I think gsp the goat
DJ is probably a little better i’d say
@@cartercapenHe had worse comp + he wasn't natural
Topuria vs. makhachev
11:26 nah bro dont say that😢
Wtf is Anthony Smith retiring on paper, he's the best fighter ever ...
Weili Loses to Suarez
Valentina Loses to Fiorat
so no Champ vs Champ there happening
ilia goes undefeated in 2025 and he beats Islam
Islam is more likely to move up and fight for WW championship than topuria is for the LW belt. Makes no sense. If Islam beats arman he will be the LW GOAT with 4 defenses. It’s his turn to go up
Topuria not losing anytime soon brother, ilia beats everyone in lightweight, highlight my comment rn
toptoro don’t beat the goat Tony el cucuy Ferguson (greatest lightweight of all time title run starts now)
bro dagestan fighters gotta be the most chopped mfs ever
they here to take over
You shouldn’t bet against J.J
Anthony Smith vs Mario Bautista for Lion Hearts retirement fight lmao
yet Guida still fighting lmfao
Dakota gets out grappled pump the breaks m8
12 seconds no views. Bro fell off
Nice
I liked the video, but none of the takes were bold
its not ''bold'', its stupid
@ ?
My counter predictions:
we wont even see 2 champ v champ fights.
Only 2 noteworthy retirements
Topuria stays at 145 and stays champ.
Connor does actually fight in 2025 to try and save face
The Dagestani/Chechnyan takeover has already been happening, but it will begin to stagnate in 2025
Lol. We'll see who's more right at the end of the year.
Ddp will chin Khamzat and make many tears flow
Stopped watching when I Heard "Oliveira Beats topuria". What a waste of time
Think of what you post for at least 2 seconds and don't make people waste their time like that
tony becomes champ in every division in 1 year and then retires with more money than mayweather. ez
Ilia becomes 1 p4p
Imagine touporia Vacates the belt, moves up, fights Olivera and loses. where does he go, back to the featherweight or stays in the lightweight but once he is defeated by charles i dont think he will be taken as seriously as he wants to be.
Imagine if unicorns and gnomes were real!!!
Ilia will not lose to charles lol
Your bs is as nonsense as those so called alien drones hovering around states😂😂😂
He'll be fine either way, Conor didn't lose momentum after losing to Nate
@@LegendJoe3063 Bro, Grow up its nothing to be emotional About even If Illia moves up 4 weight class winning every belt, nothing changes for anyone of us.
@@FaizanAleem27 if so then u need to stop making bs assumption.
best ufc account recently
What it do
